July 22, 2012: Pay it Forward

Whether locally or abroad, organizations are investing in communities and paying it forward! Hear from a local Roxbury group that is helping kids develop trades with jus a swing of the hammer! Youth Build Boston has spent over two decades getting young people to help their communities, and learn a few life lessons while they’re at it!

Also, as Haiti continues to struggle with the devastation of the 2010 earthquake, a Weston college has recently been gifted the opportunity to help. Thanks to a $463,000 grant from the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, Regis Collegecan now provide efficient training to Haitian nursing educators, who in turn will bring their knowledge to Haiti’s much needed health care industry.

And to be, or not to be? That is the question on the minds of parents wanting to keep their kids out of trouble this summer! Well with the help from the Huntington Theatre Company, Codman Academy Public Charter School students from Dorchester can do just that! The Huntington-Codman Summer Theatre Institute is a four-week program for Codman students and alumni that embraces the power of theatre and commitment! This year’s end of summer production is A Midsummer Night’s Dream! Catch it at the Boston Center for the Arts Calderwood Pavilion FREE on July 27.
